Worse Than Small Pox.
A GREAT DANGER WHICH MENACEs
AN UNsUsPICIOUs PUBLIC.

The Brompton Hospital for consump-
tives, in London, reports that over fifty
people out of every hundred comsump-
lives, are victims Of constipated or i'll
active kidneys. 1u0 m
Consumption is one Of our national
diseases, and the above report goes TO
prove what has often been said in our
columns during the last eight years,
that kidney troubles are not only the
cause of more than half of the cases Of
consumption, but of ninety out Of
every hundred other common diseases.
They who have taken this position,
made their claims after elaborate in
vestigation, and their proof that they
have discovered specific for the terri
BILE and stealthv Kidney diseases, which
have become SO prevalent among us, is
wise and convincing.
We have recently received from them
fresh supply of their wonderful adj
vertising. They have challenged the
medical profession and science to in
vestigate. They have investigated,
and those who are frank have admit
ted the truth of their statements. They
claim that ninety per cent. of diseases
come originally from inactive kidneys;
that these inactive kidneys allow the
blood to become filed with uric acid
poison; that this uric acid poison in
the blood carries disease through every
organ. -"
There is enough uric acid developed
in the system within twenty-fOur hours
to kill half dozen men.
This being scientific fact, it re-
quires only ordinary wisdom to see the
effect inactive kidneys must have upon
the system.
If this poison is not removed, it ruins
every organ. If the bowels, stomach
or liver become inactive, we know it
at once, but other organs help them
out. If the Kidneys become constipat-
ed and dormant, the warning comes
later on, and often when it is too late,
because the effects are remote from the
kidneys and those organs are not sus-
pectcd to be out of order.
Organs that are weak and diseased
are unable to resist the attacks of this
poison, and the disease often takes the
form of and is treated as local affiic-
ton, when in reality the real cause of
the trouble was inactive kidneys.
Too many medical men Of the pres
sent day hold what was a fact twenty
years ago, that kidney disease is incur
able, according to the medicines au-
thorized by their code. Hence, they
ignore the original cause of disease it.
self, and give their attention to useless
treating Of local effects.
They dose the patient with Guinine,
morphine, or with salts and other
physics, hoping that thus nature may
cure the disease, while the kidneys
continue to waste away with infiamma-
ton, liberation and decay, and the vic
tim eventually perishes.
The same quantity of blood that
passes through the heart, passes through
the kidneys. If the kidneys are dis
eased, the blood soaks up this disease
and takes it all through the system.
Hence it is, that the claim is made that
Warner's !. safe cnre, thea only knowt
specific for kidney diseases, cures ~
per cent. Of human ailments, because
it, and it alone, is able to maintain the
natural activity of the kidneys, and to
neutEalize and remove the uric acid, or
kidney poison, as fast as it is formed.
If this acid is not removed, there is
inactivity of the kidneys. and there
will be produced in the system paraly-
sis, apoplexy. dyspepsia, consumption,
heart disease, headaches, rheumatism,
impotency, and all the
nameless diseases of delicate women.
If the poisonous matter is separated
from the blood, as fast as it is formed,
these diseases, in majority of cases,
would not exist.
1t only requires particle of small
pox virus to produce that vile disease,
and the poisonous matter from the kid
neys, passing all through the system
and becoming lodged at different weak |
points, is equally destructive, although |
more disguised.
Ii it were possible for us to see into
the kidneys, and how quickly the blood
passing through them goes to the heart
and lungs and other parts of the sys-
tenn, carrying this deadly virus with it,
all would believe without hesitation
what has so often been stated in adver-
tisements in these columns, that the
kidneys are the most important organs
in the body.
They may regard this article as an
advertisement and refuse to believe it,
but that is a matter over which we
have no control. Careful investigation
and science itself are proving beyond a
doubt that this organ is, in fact,
more important than any other in the
system as health regulator, and as
such should be closely watched, for the
east sign of disordered action.
